Application filed May 15. 1923 Serial No. 639,127.

To all whom it mag concern!- 'Be it. known that I, Ronsm' G. Bane, a citizen of the United States, residing at Port Arthur, in the county of Jefferson and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Bias Furniture, of which the following is-a specification.

chase without utility of the ordinary chase as such.

By way of explanation it may he stated that, for reasons well understood by those skilled in the printers art, the lines of a form often must not be disposed at right angles to the line of advance of the inking roller.

In order to secure the desired result, it has been proposed hitherto-to provide what is known as a bias chase, that is'a chase pm.

vided with an openin the edges of which are not disposed para lel to the outer edges of the chase. This expedient, however, renders it necessary for a printer to go to the expense of purchasing a bias chase, and the present invention aims to provide a simple means whereby an ordinary chase may be made to produce the same results as a bias in any wise impairing the It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type'to'which the invention appertains.

With the above and other objects inview, which will appear as the description proceeds the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without the-spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying'drawi'ngm Figure 1 shows in' plan, an ordinary chase equipped with the furniture forming the subject .mattBtQfthis application, the form being locked in place, Figure 2 is a section taken approximately on the line 22 of Figure l. the form being omitted.

departing from.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 marks a chase of rectangular outline, havin 9. rectangular opening 2, the edges of w ich are disposed parallel to the outer edges of the chase, wedge-shaped pieces 3 of furniture cooperating with the chase along the edges of the opening, and forming a second rectangular opening 4 the edges of which are disposed out of parallelism with the outer edges of the chase. the device being further characterized by the fact that the reduced end 5 of each "piece 3 of furniture extends across the wide end 6 of an of furniture. Itfis obvious that when the form 7 is locked'in the opening 4, all of the advantages of a bias chase will be secured,

adjoining piece it being unnecessary for the'prin't-er to En a bias chase, and the ordinary chase being capable of use in the. regular way. when the furniture 3 has beenremoved. V

What is claimed is:-

I. To a device of the class described, a chase of rectangular external outline and symmetrical with respect to its longitudinal axis. the chase having a rectangular opening the edges of which edges of the chase, and wedge-shaped pieces of furniture cooperating with the chase along all of the edges of the opening, the

pieces of furniture forming a secondree tangular opening the edges of which are disposed at an acute angle to the adjacent inner and outer edges of the chase.

2. A device of the class described. -constructed as set forth in claim 1, and further clunacterized by the fact that the reduced "end of each wedge-shaped piece of furniture extends across the wider end of an ing piece of furniture.

ln testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto atlixcd my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
